Have a Spooktacular Halloween at The Rosenbach

We at The Rosenbach have some seriously spine-tingling tales in our collection, from Bram Stoker’s notes for Dracula tofirst editions of Polidori’s The Vampyre and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. What better place to celebrate the spookiest time of year than at the home of these and other horrific — and horrifically inspiring — literary treasures? From unique performances to (haunted?) tours and a gothic Halloween bash, we’ve got something fun for every gal and ghoul in town.

Get up close and personal with Bram Stoker’s handwritten notes (character and chapter outlines, chronologies, and more!) for Dracula as Rosenbach staff explore what it takes to create an enduring monster.

Venture with us into the shadows of The Rosenbach to stalk the museum’s monsters… some mythic, and some all too real. This tour will highlight the fictional and nonfictional, the harrowing and the haunted.
